Achillea is a useful genus with many garden-worthy plants, and Moonshine is no exception. Its grey-green, feathery leaves provide a low covering through winter, while the flat, clustered heads of flowers in June come in a range of colours from pink to red and purple, with a yellow center to each small flower. Native to Europe, West Asia, and the Himalayas, Achillea millefolium is also naturalized in North America, Australia, and New Zealand, typically growing in meadows and dry grassy places.
Moonshine pairs well with other garden plants, particularly Alchemilla mollis, Salvia nemorosa, Echinacea purpurea, and soft grasses like Stipa tenuissima. It truly shines in prairie plantings and will have multiple flowerings if trimmed regularly. Drought tolerant and adaptable to various soil types, Achillea Moonshine is a must-have for any garden.
